The Bible declares that Jesus’ shed blood was sufficient to cleanse every sinner from all unrighteousness and purify them completely when they trust Him for salvation. Additionally, Jesus’ blood was sufficient to provide forgiveness and redemption to sinners on its own merits without requiring anyone or anything to add to it. His words on the cross, “It is finished!” and His glorious resurrection from the dead confirm God the Father’s acceptance of His death for all sins—past, present, and future.
Jesus suffered and died on the cross for the entire world’s sins, once and for all. He bore God’s punishment and penalty for each one, as evidenced by Him crying out to the Father, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” As such, believers will never suffer for their sins after death because Jesus already paid their price in full on the cross. Furthermore, sinners are also forgiven immediately upon their repentance and salvation.
For these reasons and more, Hebrews 10:29 issues a severe warning to those who undermine the power and provision of Jesus’ shed blood, stating, “How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?”
